Pact has partnered with film in education charity, Into Film, to produce a lesson resource for teachers and careers professionals to provide young people with a greater awareness and knowledge of careers in the independent TV and film sector.
The resource uses video clips, including from Pact’s MADE series of short interview films in which some of the UK independent producers of the past 30 years share their insights and experiences, and poses questions around the videos to prompt students to think about the skills and qualities they might need to enter the industry.
The education resource can be downloaded from the Into Film website.
Pact CEO John McVay OBE, said: “As part of Pact’s 30th anniversary celebrations, we wanted to create something to inspire the next generation of UK indies for the next 30 years. We’re really pleased to have worked with Into Film on this resource which we hope will help to educate young people across the whole of the UK, including those from under-represented groups, about what the indie sector is all about.”
Into Film’s Careers Lead Cerys Evans added: “Industry growth needs new talent that represents the diversity of the UK, and this can only be achieved if young people can see opportunities out there for them. One of the main goals of our screen careers programme at Into Film is to help educators support young people to explore careers in the screen industries.”
